Seriously, this should be a campaign issue. Health care? WHAT GOOD IS HEALTHCARE WHEN THE STINGRAYS ARE ON A RAMPAGE?!?! Somewhere in the Caribbean, they are circling, declaring in the secret tongue of stingrays, "Steve Irwin was only the first to fall!"

But dude! Read the article! These suckers are so hardcore, they kill people with their faces!

In other news, there are sometimes certain things you don't want to hear, ever, under certain circumstances.

As some of you know, it's been a crazy term, but I am finally taking spring break off and am back in my old hometown for the week. My dad's house is pretty nice digs, and it's always good to be back, so everything's shiny, aye?

Only yesterday morning, I go upstairs to fix some breakfast, go near the sink, and out of the blue I hear this furious buzzing. And on the windowsill appears not one, but two bees.

Some of you may also know that I have a strong dislike, bordering on crippling fear, of bees. That being said, I am not exaggerating when I say that these bees appeared to have crawled from the pits of apian Hell. They were the same shape as a honey bee, but larger, and black, not in the fuzzy-fat-happy bumblebee way, but this creepy Venom : Spiderman :: Beelzebee : NORMAL BEE way. (For anyone who never had to do analogies as a kid, you were deprived.)

So I call my father up, as he is out making his musical therapist rounds (don't ask.) "So, Dad. Did you, perchance, know that there are bees in the kitchen?"

This was one of those situations where there are certain things you really do not want to hear. For example, my father's response:"Oh, funny story, that...."

Funny story? Funny story?! Funny story is Lady Getting Smeared by a Stingray. Funny story is not our kitchen being flooded with Satan's Honeymakers. Apparently bees in the kitchen is a recurring thing. All I'm sayin' is if they don't get to steppin', Raid's gonna be a recurring thing too. >[

Also I totally got to see Barack Obama last night. He was, like, ten feet away. It was so damn cool. A side note--not to wax too political here, but--well, if you're voting Republican, power to ye, but if you're more left-leaning and you're undecided? I'd nudge you towards Obama. Not because Hillary is the Great Satan, but (partially) because she's not exactly the Gaming Industry's best friend, and I know that actually is something that impacts a lot of you guys.

Sadly there are ignorant people out there hunting the stingrays because of deaths like these, as if other humans are not more of a threat to us!

I couldn't help but notice the picture of the lady's hat on the stingray and the drop of blood in front of it amusing in a sick way. The stingrays are warning us to stay out of their ocean, even being on a boat isn't safe.

You shouldn't be afriad of bees, it's wasps that are out to get us, although I heard they are recuriting bees for spying, since they look harmless enough...

Eheu, didn't know that about Clinton. Yeah, okay, totally NOT voting for her now.

And the bees. Bees. I used to be like "So what, it's a bee." But after I took AP Latin last year... bees... hate...

Stingrays can kill, yes. One just attempted to murder my "L" key on my keyboard (it's not working real well). But you know what you really have to look out for? Those damn sea cucumbers... Believe me, they're the ones really plotting something.

As a fervent member of the S.P.M.S. (Society for the Prevention of Misidentifying Stingrays), I feel the need to point out that the flying ocean-dweller in the story is an eagle ray, and not a stingray.

I once caught a stingray while fishing. I was about 8 years old and alone on the dock, damn thing nearly pulling me into the briney depths. Then everyone saw me fighting with my fishing pole and came out to help me, only to pull up a GI-HUGIC stingray DDD: Yes it probably seemed bigger than it was seeing as I was 8 but it was still frightening.

You know I love video games, and I hate Hilary Clinton, but I find myself agreeing with a lot of the things she was quoted as saying in that article...Higher-rated games should be kept from younger kids.

that's why I despise the rain. Rain is good in everyway, except for the fact the worms crawl up onto the pavement by the millions... hurg, I can't stand walking around outside when the ground is like that

Awwwr~ Stingrays! :icon urhappyplz:Theres an aquarium here in Utah with an open stingray tank. You can pet 'em and stuff. They're tame and their stingers are removed, of course. Its so cool! 8DDDDThey're all soft and blubbery.... like the inside of your cheek.Terrible shame I've got an allergy to their skin. o___0
